One thing to take into account before purchasing one: unlike with the Idol 4S, you don't get a free VR headset with the Idol 4 Pro. Continuum is also available, so that you can use your phone as a makeshift PC when away from your traditional Windows machine.Īlcatel's new handset can be pre-ordered in the UK for £420 and in Germany for €480, and will be released on July 28. According to rumors the Idol 5S would be also cheaper than 4S. Windows-specific features include a fingerprint reader that supports Windows Hello. The low resolution display of Idol 5S saves even more battery, so if you want more battery life 5S is better. The Idol 4 Pro comes with a 3,000 mAh battery and supports Quick Charge 2.0, which although outdated will still charge the device faster than conventional charging can. Battery life is decent, if unspectacular. Alcatel Idol 5S 6060S 4G LTE 32GB Android 7.1 Smartphone (Crystal Black) - GSM Unlocked 76 249.99 249. The front-facing camera doesn't have quite-as-lofty resolution aspirations it only does 8-megapixel shots. Other features include a better-than-average rear camera that takes 21-megapixel photos.
The two devices feature the same specs, such as 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of storage. Alcatel's new device is pretty much last year's Alcatel Idol 4S with a new name. The Idol 4 Pro runs Windows 10, which is both good and expected since Microsoft ended support for Windows Phone 8.
Windows phones are still a thing, right?
